Once a Year

I was in the Army so they tested us once a year. I am actually glad they do that. I am very happily married but my x husband cheated on me all the time so you never know. I still get tested every year just because. When I go update my shot records it is just part of it. I think everyone should be tested weather they are sexually active or not. Yes the waiting is very stressful but when they come back and tell you it is negative it is a big relief.

Thank you Carayang for the information. I don't have to worry about that though since I am married and I don't have any STD's. I do feel for the ones that do though. Some very nasty things out there. Glad there is a place people with STD's can go to meet others. No one deserves to be alone.
